i love n.t. wright and this brief article shows why.
here’s an excerpt:
and whatever matthew, mark, luke and john were doing in writing the final sections of their books, they were not telling the story of JESUS’s resurrection as a happy ending. they were telling it as a startling new beginning. easter morning isn’t a slow, gentle waking up after the difficult operation. it’s the electric shock that brings someone back to life in a whole new way.
